Centova Cast includes an easy-to-use backup utility that can create backups of each of your client and reseller accounts, optionally in an automated manner suitable for use in a cron job.
To begin, you should make sure that you have enabled the sbin/sumanage utility by running:
/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/setsumanage on
Enter the administrator password when prompted.
Next, create a script -- say, /root/backup_all_accounts.sh -- containing the following commands:
#!/bin/sh
# Simple backup script
# Remove old local copies of backups
rm -f /usr/local/centovacast/var/backups/{vhosts,resellers}/*
# Create new backups of all accounts; if you want to include log files in the
# backups, remove the --nologs parameter; if you want to include all of the
# user's media files (MP3s, etc., which will make the backup files huge),
# remove the --nocontent parameter.
/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/sumanage backup --all --nologs --nocontent
# Use rsync to copy the backup files to the path "/path/for/backups/" on the
# remote server "remotehost"; if you don't want to send them to a remote server,
# but instead wish to just copy them to (for example) a different hard drive
# partition on the local server, you could use something like this instead:
# cp -a /usr/local/centovacast/var/backups/ /path/for/backups/
rsync -ae ssh /usr/local/centovacast/var/backups/ remotehost:/path/for/backups/
Finally, make the script executable (i.e., chmod a+x /root/backup_all_accounts.sh) and create a cron job in /etc/crontab to run /root/backup_all_accounts.sh on a nightly basis. Note that this script must be executed as root, otherwise the backup utility will prompt for the administrator password before creating the backups.
